Derek Chauvin found guilty of murder in George Floyd’s death<\/strong><\/h2>\nDerek Chauvin was found guilty\u00a0of all charges in the death of George Floyd late Tuesday. The verdict was reached about one day after jurors in the trial of the former Minneapolis police officer heard closing statements and began deliberating. Chauvin, who is white, was seen on video pinning George Floyd, a Black man, to the ground for over nine minutes after police responded to a report that Floyd used a counterfeit bill. Chauvin, 45, charged with second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, was led out of the courtroom\u00a0in handcuffs. Now, Chauvin is expected to file an appeal of the guilty verdicts. But the issues to be raised are up for debate.<\/p>\n

Is herd immunity to COVID-19 possible?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nHate to be the bearer of not-so-great news, but the United States may never reach full herd immunity for COVID-19, experts say.\u00a0For almost a year, Americans have been looking forward to herd immunity, when enough people are protected through vaccination or past infection to stop the spread of COVID-19. Officials are now focused on containment similar to the flu: acknowledging there will be regular outbreaks but hoping to limit them as much as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Tyrannosaurus\u00a0pack<\/b><\/h2>\n
In a\u00a0groundbreaking discovery, scientists found stronger evidence that the Tyrannosaurus rex may have traveled and hunted in packs \u2014 a topic which experts have debated for decades. The Utah Bureau of Land Management announced that\u00a0a T. Rex mass death site was discovered\u00a0in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument,\u00a0which could indicate\u00a0pack-like behavior among the famous ancient predator. The latest development in how the T. Rex behaved \u201cshould be a tipping point\u201d in considering how the dinosaur behaved and hunted in that area of the world during the Cretaceous period\u00a0said Dr. Joe Sertich, curator of dinosaurs at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.<\/p>\n
